Question

1. The scale of a map is 1:1000. What are the actual dimensions of a

rectangle which appears as 4 cm by 3 cm on the map? What is the area
on the map in cm2 ?What is the actual area in m2?

Answer 1

Explanation:

4 cm × 1000 = 4000 cm = 40 meters

3 cm × 1000 = 3000 cm = 30 meters

A 4 cm by 3 cm section on the map represents 40 m by 30 m.

area = 40 m × 30 m = 1200 m²
